Lucky me, I've never been 'with it'.
I'm at the point where what is 'it' is weird to me, but it isn't scary yet.
What amazes me is how much stuff I was "with" is still relevant to kids these days. I'm amazed at the staying power of Source Filmmaker for example.

Fuck that. I'll be too engrossed in my nursing home LAN parties to be talking to Gen B or C or K. Whichever it is when we're all old.
At this rate, generation wasteland.
Inform them about their mother while you are at it
If it's anything like it is now I'm sure it's the unborn future 9 year olds that will be telling me they fucked my mother.
Imagine the Zerg Rush vs Protoss Carrier battles in those nursing home LAN parties!

Boomers: racism, wife bad
Millennials: aggressive misunderstandings, the collapse is imminent, domng cute
Gen alpha: remember when there was fish, skibidi
Gen Z is the new Gen X, lol. People just skip over them.
Can confirm, Gen-X here. We're all either Boomers or Millennials depending on whatever is coming out of our mouths.
To all that noise, I say: Meh, whatever.

Gen Z are millennials without the beginnings of joint pain or basic knowledge of internet safety

I get so happy whenever i see this. Sarah Anderson easily has the most relatable comics. Absolutely gonna carry treats for all the 13/10 puppers
I don't quite understand why it's okay to pigeonhole people based on their age. It's the same obtuse logic that racism works on: You ascribe all your prejudices to a imaginary group that is defined by nothing more than a single characteristic - be it age, race, gender or whatever. Don't get me wrong, I'm a millennial myself and I think this post is funny. Other might not.
What I'm trying to say is that I can't quite understand that with all the political correctness that is rightly emphasized these days, age discrimination seems to be excluded.
I just don't think this form of discrimination is particularly helpful to anybody, as it also pits one group against another - just like rasicsm does. So please don't normalize that stuff just because it's the only ...ism left that is accepted in social media.
And just to get that out of the way: Ok, boomer or millenial comments in response to this comment are not particularly original.
Ok, Boomer. Tl;dr. Skibidi ohio.

Race, gender and whatever are "people that are not like me". Jokes about old people are jokes about myself, because I (hopefully) will get old myself one day.
Aww, that's wholesome.
I don't quite understand why it's okay to pigeonhole people based on their age.
I don't think that's what's happening here. It's just a millennial imagining an exaggerated future of what she'll be like as an elderly person, using too much of her current slang.
You can in fact tell someone's age with reasonable accuracy based on the slang they use. It's not "pigeonholing" to acknowledge a generation's quirky slang.
I think we do this because of the school system, fast moving trends and technologies, and lastly marketing campaigns.
The school system does a good job keeping everyone separated by age. So different classes will often have different trends and might compete against each other. Then once out of school, people still have this framing.
There are also real differences in how I experienced childhood versus other people when they were kids, with internet and cellphones not being prevalent like today. Also certain events like 9/11 and Columbine caused a lot of national conversations. It felt unique to my experience and so I want to share and contrast that with others. We all have a shared human experience, and it's interesting to find commonalities and differences in that. Which is probably why OP posted - the shared human experience of getting old and what we might look like.
And last, I think a lot of the simplistic, controversial stuff just comes from advertisers trying to make people feel insecure so they can sell them something.

You talking to me?
My cat is also named bรธrt.
I've heard of 5/7 but what is 13/10 from?
I think it's from an insta/Twitter account named WeRateDogs, but I could be wrong.
You are correct.
For anyone else unaware, the schtick of the account was they'd always rate dogs with ratings of x/10 with x always being greater than 10. It was pretty funny how often people would get upset over this.
